Encouraging Outlook.
CAMP MEETING GROUNDS,


south of Milan, with seventy-oDe tent
holders on the grounds. The number of
people tented on the grounds the first
days of the meetings were about three
hundred. People have been arriving
from all over the district on the grounds
for several days; they drive in with their
loaded wagons, unload their loads and
their tents. Those who have not one
already built prepare for living. and
then are ready to work for the Master.
Everything possible has been done, and
is being done, TO provide for the comfort
of the people who come to the ground,
either temporal or spiritual. The grounds
are at present in good condition-some
Improvements have been made. The
speakers platform has been extended to
the front which gives more room as well
as beng more convenient in other ways.
The pumps in the different wells are
being repaired and put into proper con-
ditions. There seems to be doubt on
the part of parties who are not on the
grounds, who hesitate about coming on
account of the supply of water, thinking
it is not sufficient The committee on
water is good one and will supply water
for all who come. If there is not enough
water in the wells the committee will
have water hauled. There is being dug,
a well short distance from the grounds
which will undoubtedly furnish an sbund
ance of water.
The boarding ten; is in the hands of
good men, and they are ready to supply
anyone with good things to eat. Hacks
are running regularly to and from the
grounds. which will carry passengers and
produce at reasonable rates. Father
Williams, of Moline, arrived on the
grounds yesterday. He is the oldest man
here If he lives until the 14th of next
February he will be so years of age.
Dr. W. H. Hunter. of Peoria, arrived
on the grounds yesterday. The doctor
has spent whole life time in the minis
try. He was at one time presiding elder
! of this district We would like to hear
the reverend brother preach while on the
grounds.
| The first sermon preached on the
grounds this year was delivered at p.
M, by Rev ]. B. Dilley. of New
| Windsor. He used the passage OF
scripture found in the seventh verse of
the V Psalm. He gave very interests
ing sermon to an attentive audience.
The services on Thursday evening were
well attended. After a prayer and song
service, Rev. Henry Brink. of Preemp>
ton. told the gospel truths as suggested
by the sixteenth verse of the 4th chapter
Of Heb:
Let us come boldly to the throne of grace
The speaker said he did not expect to
say anything new about the subject, but
wanted to refresh in the minds of the
hearers the thoughts contained. The
apostle understood the weakness of the
first of the trials and troubles that mer
are heir to, and that Christ is a modera
tor between man and God. The speaker
was glad there is way prepared by which
We can GENE to this throne of grace
This coming implies personal privilege

upon God and is cemented with the BLOOD
OF Christ. This throne is where believer

have this fulness, and salvation for every
, one who comes in this encampment Tn
